Instead of seeing wicked again I caught the matinee performance of Young Frankenstein. Surprisingly from what I heard from like everyone, the theatre was packed (or at least the orchestra and mezzanine) Anyway ,I would have to say that the show is doing well no, although I do miss Andrea Martin and Sutton Foster.
Roger Bart- he was great yesterday, and he never ceases to amaze me. Although I do hate it when he talks in like a screaming voice and you can barely hear him (well yesterdays performance I could barely hear him) but overall he did great.
Megan Mullally- she never stops amazing me, I'm going to miss her when shes gone, but she got the whole crowd rowdy, and up to their feet on curtain call.
Shuler Hensley- haha this guy was awesome, and I liked his new grunts that he added in.
Beth Leavel- She did great, I like Andrea Martin in the role better, but what I loved about Beth was that she put in a lot of new things to the role, although I hate how she didn't have the new outfit for puttin' on the ritz. I don't know, I got kind of like ughh why isn't she wearing the outfit (she was wearing her he vas my boyfriend outifit), so I think it didn't look right. But overall I would say that Beth's performance was good.
Fred Applegate- He was great, and what I liked about him was that he never got bored on stage, and kept going to till the curtain.
Christoper Fitzgerald- god, why isn't this guy like in a better show with a lead role, this guy was utterly, and without a doubt amazing. He's what got the crowd on their feet during curtain call. He put in different stuff in his dialogue, and he made his character funnier than the last time I saw him.
Kelly Sullivan- hmm, idk, she's alright, she didn't like really make a great Inga. Maybe I am comparing her to Sutton Foster, when I hate comparing people to original cast members, but she just didn't do it for me. Her singing voice is amazing, and she did slip up with the accent a few times, but she just like didn't do well in the acting for me. But, she'll probably get better in the next couple of weeks.
So overall it was a great performance. I was kind of going into the theatre with expectations of it being terrible, but everyone was on top of their game. The ensemble was still smiling and doing their dances perfectly, and the sets and costumes looked amazing. So overall I had a good experience, I'd rate it an 8/10.
*didn't get to stage door, since it was matinee, and no one was probably out.
